The department will be expanding TRAINING DISTRICTS to all districts but the following:

016

017

014

022

possibly a few more.

1000 recruits to be hired this year.

RAHM WAS PISSED when he found out more than half the people notified for the P.O.W.E.R. test were passed over because their bullshit email notification went to the SPAM filters and they were passed over.

NOW they will be ALL re-notified by U.S. mail to take the P.O.W.E.R. test.

The Mayor said a new police test WAS NOT in the budget this year so you bastards better make it work.

This Tracey Ladner goof now has a 33 year old deputy director who was from the Obama camp... SHE HAS A NOSE RING.

All you paper pushers that would give P.O.'s an attitude when asked a question are about to get a taste of reality. Back on the street and there is no phone call that can save your asses. I can't wait to see some of you assholes and bitches on the street.

OT ... The IG, Joe Ferguson sent a report to the Hall stating that the IG's office found almost 300 jobs that can be civilianized and those 300 cops can go back on the street. Rahm is embracing the report and ordered McCarthy to act on it immediately. Only the heaviest of the heaviest will remain standing (or sitting)!

Big FTO meeting at the union hall. Much of same nonsense. All of us got personal invites to shoot the shit with Rich. Basically if we get a perk everyone else( detc div) gets a higher perk. And the Foundation crumbles more?

The city inspector general has given Rahm a list of 292 spots occupied by CPD po's that could be performed by civilians at a lessor cost.Jobs like data enterers......whoa.... back up.....data enterers, in the hands of low paid civilians,...sensitive data??? and Rahm say's this is just what he's looking for and that McDoofus and his people are ON IT!Heard it on the radio not ten minutes ago.Lord help us and the citizens of Chicago.

SCC - check out the Tribune story re: the charging of three stick-up men who targeted businesses on the NORTH side over a 10 month period. Seems someone may have dusted off the federal statutes re: gun-toting felons.

Do you think someone reads your blog? Who's going to break it to the Reverends who stopped their usage the first time around?

Send the gun-toting felons as far away from Chicago as we can and see how soon things settle down.

http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Chicago-Vows-To-Fight-Concealed-Carry-Ruling-183331821.html Obviously Rahm has the answer. This guy is such a pompous prick. Yeah Rahm, "Cry baby bitch" didn't get his way. Oh, what's the matter? Couldn't buy the judges off? Dude you are such a fucking Ding Dong.

Here's the problem: He loves this shit. Honestly. I know first hand. Weis would blow his top and want a CR on every thing like this. this arrogant asshole actually brags to people about the shit talking on here.

I think this is great. Too bad, he's probably already jerked off to it. you have no idea of the ego you are dealing with...

Big FTO meeting with Rich. Same nonsense from the useless people we keep electing. FTOs will still be fucked over by the city and union. The most important job in the department, teaching recruits to be the police yet nobody can help us. Sickening!

You goofballs should not be praising a video like this! He's our boss, and we should all respect him. Obviously none of you guys posting have been in the military, because this kind of disrespect towards a higher rank would not be tolerated!

yes, brilliant.....so, about the military, where almost 40% of their senior staff (generals, majors, etc.) have been fired for misconduct, most of a sexual nature (adultery, etc.); would one suggest that the German soldiers not "say anything", while the citizens were being loaded onto the train boxcars?....the truth is oftentimes elusive....

RESPECT IS EARNED, you sanctimonious prick. I proudly served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. On the CPD, any clouted douchebag moron can be anointed as a boss. Give us a wake up call if and when this job goes legit.

goofballs?......and, while you are talking to some folks who have a lot of time on the job, who may have been in the military themselves, folks who may have bachelor's, masters, doctoral, law degrees, and folks who have been raised here in Chicago, one of the most corrupt cities in America, and have seen, and continue to see, political stupidity, ineptness, incompetence, corruption, in and at every level of city and CPD operations.....you are referencing disrespect?......huh?

The FTO program will always continue to fail. FTOs should be selected by watch supervisors. Everybody knows who the great POs are. Nobody wants to go to a shit district and work midnights as an FTO. There are a lot of great officers already in these spots that are already helping these recruits. Pay them for it, and not just out of grade, a bit more. They are there in these districts on the watches already. Ask for volunteers and select the best one. You will get better candidates than a testing process, then a bidding process only to result in people giving up the FTO gig like every time before. Give it to people that are all ready there and want it. Kind of like it is now only make it official. Save tons of money on bullshit testing and rules.

"If whoever made that video put half the amount of time it took them to make it into police work, they could conquer the ghetto. Just sayin'."

You're joking, right?

Are you a new arrival here or somethin'?

The "ghetto" in Chicago is a mash-up of Port-Au-Prince Haiti, Fallujah Iraq and the tribal regions along the Afghan-Pakistan border... We're ONE unlucky freight car from our resident savages getting ahold of some big nasty shit that goes KA-BOOM really hard in the night. You judgemental, preening, lip-smacking asshole!

A few minutes of pasting some funny subtitles onto a movie clip a few years old and you open your man-pleaser to make some smug-assed, self righteous, "go do some work and conquer the ghetto" noise?

Or are you blindly delusional on top of being fucking stupid?

"...conquer the ghetto."GTFOH! *Kick in the ass*

You think and reason like a little lib-tard bitch.

News-Flash... The "ghetto" is fucking lost. Only a self tickling twink like you can make the astounding leap in logic of blaming The Police but you're the weak-minded useful idiot Rahm is banking on.

This city is BURNING thanks to wet-eyed limp wrists like you.

STFU fairy princess... The adults are talking about survival here and you keep interrupting because the pull-string on your baby shits-a-lot doll broke...

Whoa. There's a lot of hate behind all those big words. If you used the same effort and emotion in you police work that you just did in the above post, you could also conquer the ghetto.

The city is burning because of me?? No you're wrong. It's burning because of the savages. It's burning faster because of lazy excuse-makers like yourself. Crybaby.

Holy shit, You are a disgruntled s.o.b. I bet you blame your bad attitude on the job. I bet every partner that pulls the short straw and has to work with you has to hear your cry-baby rants about how much you hate the job / city / mccarthy / your sgt / your ex-wife, etc. Guess what? It's not the job, it's you that make you miserable. You signed up for this job just like the rest of us. If you wanna lay down and do nothing, fine. Nobody's got a problem with that. Just quit advertising it. Some people still have a little pride and effort left to go out there and do their jobs despite all the bullshit thats going on. im sure you hate those people too. Just keep your disgust to yourself and quit trying to recruit people into your loud mouth "I hate the world" lifestyle.

yes, it must be frustrating to feel like you've got to 'do something', anything, to save the few from the many.

evacuation is the only effective means of 'saving' those few, 'ghetto' dwellers not already infected with the thug virus.

much like a building infested with the indefatigable cockroach, contained fumigation is the most efficient solution, thus, it is unlikely to be approved by those who exploit the ever increasing presence of the thug hordes.

when, or rather if, you ever realize that what you think you are promoting is really no different than, or as effective as, squashing cockroaches, one bug at a time, you'll understand the difference between 'I hate the world' and 'I hate the bullshit'.

The Ghetto IS lost... The city IS burning. The superintendent even grudgingly admitted it. You blinked so you must've missed that.

You getting your panties in a bunch and playing "Look at me, I still go to work and produce, you don't," won't change a damned thing. Who the fuck are you trying to impress? You want a cookie? It's called "reality." Nothing hateful or disgruntled about that at all.

Reality scares the shit out of you apparently.

Now wrap your head around this thread being about a nice bit of creative editing before you comprehension challenged children got all offended over nothing.

Go away child... The adults are STILL talking about survival and they don't owe you any justification for feeling and thinking the way they do. You just don't "get it" yet.

Toughen up, leave the job or do everybody a solid and stay in the slow lane.

Buddy, I was idealistic at one time too. There are very few capable FTOs who do the job because they want to do it. The FTO spot does not pay enough to attract enough capable candidates. Just because capable police officers work with (and are willing to train) recruits it does not mean that they actually want to be FTOs. The FTO pay is a slap in the face. (The responsibilities and extra work far outweigh the extra pay.)
